JAMES COMEY/MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump attacked James Comey as a ‘weak and untruthful slime ball’ on Friday [4-13-18] after the fired former FBI director castigated him as an unethical liar and likened him to a mob moss in a searing new memoir.The president fired Comey last May while his agency was investigating potential collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia in the 2016 U.S. election in a move that led the Justice Department to appoint Special Counsel Robert Mueller to take over a probe that has hung over his presidency…The tirade followed news accounts of Comey’s book, “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership,” which paints a deeply unflattering picture of Trump, comparing him to a mob boss who stresses personal loyalty over the law and has little regard for morality or truth.”
